Kosher cuisine requires separation of "meat" meals and "dairy" meals. This potato casserole shows there are many tantalizing recipe possibilities, even when ingredients are restricted.

Ingredients

6 Medium baking potatoes (about 2 pounds)
1/2 cup Plain, low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons Margarine or butter
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Ground red pepper
2 beaten Eggs
3/4 cup Herbed feta cheese or plain feta cheese
1/4 cup Water
1 10-ounce Package prewashed spinach
1/4 teaspoon Paprika

Preparation

1. Peel and quarter potatoes. In a large saucepan cook potatoes, covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 25 mins. or until tender. Drain potatoes. Mash drained potatoes with a potato masher or beat with an electric mixer on low speed. Add yogurt, margarine or butter, salt, and red pepper; beat just until combined. Add eggs; beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute or until fluffy. Fold in 1/2 cup of the feta cheese.


2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a 12-inch skillet bring the 1/4 cup water to boiling; add spinach to skillet. Toss spinach for about 1 minute or unti spinach is slightly wilted; drain. Press out excess liquid. Coarsley chop spinach.


3. Spread half of the potato mixture into a lightly greased 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Layer spinach on top; sprinkle with remaining feta cheese. Spread remaining potato mixture on top and sprinkle with paprika.


4. Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until top is lightly browned. Makes 8 side-dish servings.
